Important Considerations Before Undergoing Vision Correction Surgery
Hello, this is BGS Eye Clinic.
These days, many people are interested in vision correction surgery.
Since same-day examinations and surgeries are often possible, many people may want to get the surgery quickly.
However, the eyes are important organs responsible for our vision.
Therefore, today we will discuss what to be aware of for accurate examination results and better surgery outcomes.
If you are considering vision correction surgery, you will first go through an eye examination. This examination is the most important part of vision correction surgery.
You can think of the examination as the process of choosing the eyeglass prescription that you will have in your eyes for the rest of your life.
Because the eye is a living organ, the examination values may vary from time to time.
If the examination process is not done properly and a high prescription (overcorrection) occurs due to errors, it can strain the eyes even when looking at a normal distance, leading to facial muscle pain and severe dry eye.
With regular glasses and lenses, even if overcorrection occurs, you can simply take them off, so the problem is not serious. However, with vision correction surgery, you cannot take off the overcorrection.
Before surgery, most people are nearsighted, so when they feel eye fatigue, they can take off their glasses to relax the ciliary muscle and rest their eye muscles.
However, if overcorrection occurs, you may end up with side effects and have to get new glasses to wear to rest your eyes.
At BGS Eye Clinic, our medical staff prioritizes the patient's eye health. Therefore, we conduct a 1:1 precise examination by an optometrist before surgery.
Accurate measurement of the prescription before surgery is the most important factor. To prevent even a 1/100 error, we perform approximately 60 precise examinations to check for abnormalities in all parts of the eye, from the cornea to the optic nerve in the retina, and to determine individual measurements.
Various precise examinations are performed, including vision, corneal condition, retinal thickness, and pupil size.
Through these examinations, we discuss surgery eligibility, postoperative corrected vision, and the most suitable surgical method for your eye condition.
We have various precise examination tools and the latest surgical equipment. Our ophthalmologists also have extensive clinical experience, so you can expect stable results.
There are a few things that patients should be aware of for accurate examination and surgery.
The first is lenses.
If you wear contact lenses for a long time, the shape of the cornea may be compressed by the contact lenses. Therefore, a sufficient period is needed for the corneal shape to return to its original state.
Before the examination/surgery:
Stop wearing soft lenses for 3 days,
Toric lenses for 6 days,
Hard lenses for 9 days,
And Dream lenses for one month.
It is best to live with glasses and then have the examination and surgery.
It is important to note that because we examine the retina as well as vision, your vision may be blurry and your eyes may be sensitive to light. Therefore, it is safer not to drive on the day of the examination. :)
Second,
Avoid using strongly scented products such as perfume, spray, and hair gel before surgery.
The laser machine used in surgery is sensitive to certain chemicals or odors.
This can affect the sensors or operation of the machine.
This can negatively affect the accuracy and safety of the surgery.
Additionally, perms and dyes are also a concern.
The chemicals used in perms and dyes contain ammonia.
Ammonia can irritate the eyes and affect the machines used for surgery.
Therefore, perms and dyes are prohibited from 3 days before surgery.
Also, to ensure a speedy recovery for sensitive eyes after surgery,
It is best to avoid perms and dyes for at least a week after surgery.
Third,
Abstain from alcohol and get enough sleep and rest the day before surgery.
You should ensure that you are in good condition on the day of surgery by getting enough rest before surgery.
You should abstain from alcohol and avoid greasy foods as much as possible the day before surgery.
Fourth,
Avoid using your cell phone or watching TV on the day of surgery.
On the day of surgery, your vision will generally be blurry and sensitive to light, so looking at the screen can irritate and strain your eyes.
Lastly,
Have regular checkups after surgery.
The recovery results of all surgeries depend on aftercare.
Similarly, if aftercare is not done properly after vision correction surgery,
It can affect vision recovery.
Therefore, you should continue to pay attention and get regular checkups even after surgery.
At BGS Eye Clinic, you are automatically enrolled in a lifetime guarantee service after surgery,
So you can get regular checkups and consultations when needed.
If vision regression occurs,
We will conduct a re-examination,
